Chapter 218 This painting is definitely not the original work of Li Tang
"Sister Qin, please enlarge this place a little more. It seems to have the author's signature here." Shen Yu took a few steps forward and pointed at the wine flag in the painting and said slowly.
Pei Yuqin used a special remote control to zoom in on the words.
Not to mention, Shen Yu has very good eyesight.
Next to the word "wine" on the wine flag, there is indeed a line of the author's regular script self-title, specifically fourteen characters: "Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, Nian Jiachenchun, personally written by Li Tang of Heyang."
When Pei Yuqin saw this, a look of solemnity suddenly appeared on her pretty face.
The whole person instantly returned to the look of the cold and beautiful CEO before, "If I calculated correctly, the year of Jiachen of Xuanhe should be the sixth year of Xuanhe, which is 1124 AD. Isn't this a Song Dynasty painting?
"Also, isn't Heyang Li Tang, the leader of the four Southern Song Dynasty families, Li Tang and Li Xigu?
"This painting is actually the work of Li Tang?"
Shen Yu nodded, but then added: "Although the painting is written by Li Tang himself, it is not necessarily the original work of Li Tang. It is possible that it is a fake or a copy."
Li Tang, courtesy name Xigu, as Pei Yuqin said, was the head of the four Southern Song Dynasty families.
His painting style is modeled after Liu Songnian, Ma Yuan and Xia Gui.
In other words, the other three of the four Southern Song Dynasty families all held discipleship rites towards Li Tang.
Li Tang had already become famous in the Northern Song Dynasty. During the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, he was awarded the title of Zhonglang.
But he was once so depressed that he made a living selling paintings in the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty, and later entered the Southern Song Dynasty Painting Academy again.
Shen Yu didn't know if Li Tang was the only one who entered the Royal Academy of Painting twice during the Northern Song Dynasty and Southern Song Dynasty.
But this situation shows that Li Tang is very strong.
Painting academies existed in various dynasties before the Song Dynasty.
But in history, the Song Dynasty Painting Academy is the most famous.
It can be said that there are bright stars, numerous celebrities, and countless masterpieces.
In the Song Dynasty, just like scholars taking the imperial examination, painters regarded entering the Royal Academy of Painting as the highest honor.
Learned the art of painting and sold it to the emperor's family.
In one sentence, a good painter may not necessarily get into the Royal Academy of Painting.
But those who can enter the Royal Academy of Painting are all, without exception, outstanding painters.
Moreover, the Royal Painting Academy not only painted for the emperor, but was also the highest-level art academy in the Song Dynasty.
In the art academy, there are many famous artists who teach students painting.
An ordinary painter who wants to enter a painting academy also needs to pass a rigorous examination.
In the Tang Dynasty, the highest position in the painting academy was the enshrined person. For example, Wu Daozi was the imperial enshrined person during the Xuanzong period of the Tang Dynasty.
In the Song Dynasty, the positions in the painting academy were divided into student, Xuezheng, Yixue, Zhihou, and Waiting for an Imperial Order.
The painting academy with the golden belt, Daizhao, has the highest status among the painting academies.
Li Tang is like this, a bit like a modern doctoral tutor.
Moreover, although the official rank of the Golden Belt of the Painting Academy is not high, he is a close minister of the emperor, and his status is far above that of the Qin Yuan, Qi Yuan, and even ordinary ministers.
……
Koko Auctions owns seven floors of property in Koko Building.
The appraisal center is at the next top level.
At this moment, Lin Yi'an was standing in front of the appraisal table with a smile on his face. He had an elegant smile on his face, quite like the unhurried and unhurried demeanor of a Confucian businessman.
But now he is very anxious.
For some unknown reason, the quality of the ten high-quality antique paintings that Master Feng gave him this time was much worse than before.
Specifically, some of the more expensive ones are much different.
But he also gave him three authentic paintings.
The house he rented from Lao Chentou in Qingyun Town only sold one fake product in two months.
Now that the rent has been extended for another month, the price of 300,000 yuan really hurts him.
But the play has to go on, and without that house, there is no stage.
I can only grit my teeth and persist.
No one was digging out the old house, so Lin Yian decided to take the initiative and put it up for auction.
This is a very dangerous thing.
Because it is easy to expose him, but he can no longer control so much.
He has had enough of being a liar, and has had enough of trembling under Master Feng.
This time he came to Gaogu with two fakes and one original.
The two fakes were carefully selected by him.
They were all imitations of Qing Dynasty paintings. Even if they were identified, he could deduce that they were punched by his ancestors when they were collecting them. It had nothing to do with him.
And there is also an authentic backing.
However, Gao Gu's chief calligraphy and painting appraiser suffered a heart attack, and he was able to get away with it even though he didn't have all the guarantees.
As long as he puts one up for auction and the auction is successful, he will not have to worry about spending money for the rest of his life.
Because he wants to take away all the money.
No one knows this.

Pei Yuqin murmured: "In addition to being an ancient poem, this sentence about a restaurant selling wine by the Zhusuo Bridge seems to be a question in the ancient painting academy examination, isn't it?"
"Sister Qin is very good." Shen Yu first praised Pei Yuqin, and then nodded, "This is one of the four most famous examination questions at the Xuanhe Painting Academy of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty.
"They were all written by Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. The remaining three titles are 'Horse hoof fragrance returns after stepping on flowers', 'Hiding ancient temples in deep mountains' and 'No one can cross the wild water, and the lonely boat is crossing every day'."
After Shen Yu's reminder, Pei Yuqin's beautiful face immediately showed a clear expression, "Did Li Tang enter the art academy because of this question?"
"Yes, many candidates during the exam drew scenes of wine shops and people drinking, with small bridges, flowing water, and bamboo groves and clear springs as backgrounds.
"Unfortunately, none of them were admitted.
"The key point of 'The restaurant selling wine by the Zhusuo Bridge' lies in the word 'lock'.
"At that time, Li Tang was already forty-eight years old. At this age, in ancient times, he could call himself an old man, and even three generations could live under the same roof.
"When he saw this question, he thought hard for a long time and drew green mountains and waterfalls as a distant view. In the close view, he first drew a small river and then a wooden bridge across the water.
"Behind the bridge is a lush green bamboo forest.
"Finally, a huge wine flag was picked out diagonally from a huge green bamboo.
"Although there is no wine shop in the painting, there are no people drinking.
"Viewers of the painting can always imagine through the wine curtains fluttering in the wind that there must be a wine shop or winery behind this bamboo forest, and they can't help but be full of expectations.
"As soon as this painting came out, it accurately pointed out the artistic conception of the word 'lock'. Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, was overjoyed after seeing it and commented that there is no wine shop but the fragrance of wine, this painting should be the first.
"As a result, Li Tang came out on top and entered the Xuanhe Painting Academy with first place.
"Song Huizong even said that Li Tang is comparable to Li Sixun, the founder of the Beizong sect in the Tang Dynasty."
After hearing this, Pei Yuqin asked with some anticipation: "Could it be this painting?"
"No, this painting is undoubtedly a fake."
Pei Yuqin blinked her beautiful eyes, looked Shen Yu up and down in feigned surprise, and then said in an exaggerated tone, "You also said that your Shen family has no unique secret technique for identifying calligraphy and paintings. You didn't even see the real paintings, so you knew they were Is it fake?"
Shen Yu smiled: "Li Tang is a long-lived painter. He has been very smart since he was a child and is good at poetry, calligraphy and painting.
"While painting, he was proficient in landscapes, figures, flowers, birds, fish and insects, and he could even paint cows.
"The skill of painting cattle is comparable to that of Han Huang, the master of painting cattle, and Dai Song is not bad either.
"Of course, his landscape paintings are the most famous.
"Anyone who paints landscapes should look at real landscapes.
"The shadow of Sichuan is in the eyes, and the pen and ink can convey the spirit.
"The close-up view of this painting is good, and it can be said that the painting is exquisite, but the distant view is much worse. Although it cannot be said to be a graffiti, it really lacks the charm of some famous paintings.
"Lands and rivers are difficult, and it is difficult to draw the momentum of thousands of miles within a short distance.
"If you haven't seen the real famous mountains and rivers, just copying the paintings of predecessors, you will never be able to achieve success.
"Looking at this painting as a whole, it is more refined and less spiritual. It is definitely not an authentic work of Li Tang."
